BTS: 507 The Ballad of Roger Mac
Did you love seeing the beginning of the battle? I really did. Watching the first line fire and then the second step forward to fire after while the first line reloaded. I have to admit I never understood how this worked until Outlander showed us. And 400 shots fired while filming. So neat!

Was it organic that we go from Murtagh to Duncan Innes? I don’t really think so even though I completely understand why Jocasta is rejecting Murtagh. But Duncan hasn’t been around to let us see him as an option.
The ring scene was… I don’t even know. Why would Philip ask for her rings? Because he admired them? I just think that is a stretch.

Adso is such and adorable “wee cheety” as Jamie would put it. I love it. I miss Rollo though. OMG, I loved ‘The Impetuous Pirate’ in the episode. It is actually in the book Voyager. It was in the surgical lounge and Claire’s reading it and it is a very naughty book. Joe is sitting across the way and when Claire is shocked by the love scene, Joe asks if she got to a specific page. It is just a great addition.

Go Lauren Lyle. Lauren was taught how to butcher a pig and a goat prior to filming and actually did the butchering on set. A badass indeed. Honestly, I don’t know if I could do it.
